  NPP Cannot Sell Leadership: The GHS 4.5 Million Filing Fee Is an Insult to Our Democracy There comes a time in every political tradition when silence becomes betrayal. The New Patriotic Party has reached that point. How did we arrive at a place where a presidential aspirant must pay GHS 4.5 million to exercise the basic right of internal political participation?
